What does a cider press look like?

A cider press typically consists of a sturdy wooden or metal frame that holds a large, cylindrical container where Apples are placed. Above this container, a screw mechanism or lever system applies pressure to crush the Apples, releasing their juice. The juice then flows out through a spout or drainage hole at the bottom, often into a collecting vessel. The design may vary from traditional hand-operated models to more modern mechanical presses, but the essential components remain the same.
